Judge E. A. Hogate Declares We Have Outgrown State's Instrument And it Mu«t he Revised.
J. L. Peetz, State Statistician, started yesterday to initiate a new method of getting the acreage of land devoted to crops, which he declares is superior to the old method and will make it possible to get reports of the acreage devoted to the different crops that will be as nearly accurate as it is possible to get. Heretofore the acreage of every county planted in wheat, corn, oats, rye or any of the numerous crops has been gathered by county assessors.
The county assessor will still be ex- ** le portion of Europe and Africa and
LIMB AND KERN TOGETHER
Senatorial Candidates Said to Have Reached an Agreement as to Coming Contest.
AN EACH FOR OTHER 'COMPACT
An alliance, offensive and defensive, has been entered into by John Worth Kern, of Indianapolis, and John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, Democratic candidates for the United States Senate. Kern, it was said today, will get Lamb’s votes, or most of them, if Lamb finds that he can’t win. If Kern falls down unexpectedly he will attempt to land Lamb the position. That an arrangement of this kind exists was reported today. Kern and Lamb have not appeared together at the Denison, which is the headquarters for the Democratic members, but it was learned that they lunched together at the Claypool a few days ago, and that afterward 'hey had a conference. One of Lamb's Intimate friends said that he and Kern understood each other's position thoroughly, and that Lamb is very anxious for Kern to win if he sees that he hasn't sufficient strength himself. Lamb has not been making the aggressive fight expected of him a month ago, when he entered the race. He came here several times during the 10 days following his announcement, but since then he has been sticking close to Terre Haute. —Indianapolis Special.
pected to furnish the information, but he will be expected to use different methods. In the past the farmers have been solicited early in the year in advance of the planting of their crops to knoYv what acreage they would devote to wheat, corn, oats and other crops. At best the information gathered by the assessors was merely an estimate. The farmers were frequently known to deceive purposely the assessor as to the crops they intended planting. In many instances the winter estimates very honestly differed from the actual performance when the work of planting began. The result of it all was | an estimate acreage planted in oer-1 tain crops which could not be de- [ pended upon as accurate.
the eastern portions of Asia and
Australia.
There will be a partial eclipse of the sun December 12 and 13, but invisible to the United States. It will be seen from the southwestern tip of Australia, the southern portion of New Zealand and the polar regions.
NEITHER BEST NOR WORST
State lloartl of Charities Publishes A Report of Conditions in Poor Asylums Rut Does Not Mention This County.
Peetz proposes to get the Informa-1 . tion after the crops are planted. CLAY COUNTY IS. ON BAD LlbT when the facts are obtainable. To prevent the possibility of careless es-
timates the state statistician is gathering statistics of the area occupied by cities, towns and villages and will check this against the reported area planted in crops and the state | survey of the area of the different townships and counties. The work will take some time, and it is not expected that it will be completed befor spring.
“The time is ripe when Indiana should adopt a new constitution,'' sida Dean Enoch A. Hogate of the Indiana University Law School before the law class. “Our present Constitution." the Judge said, “was made at the time Indiana was purely an agricultural state, and is inedaquate for the state under the present industrial conditions. The constitution should not embody any legislation, but should consist of more general statements
of powers.”
Mr. Hogate thinks that there should be a change in the courts— that there should be only one court of last resort, and this court ought to be appointed for life after the manner of the Federal Court. He advised the lengthening of the terms of the General Assembly of the legislature from sixty-one days to 100 days, and that the last forty days of this assembly should be reserved for consideration of bills previously enacted and not for the Introduction of any new ones. By this system he thinks that the introduction and passing of numerous appropriation bills during the last few days of each session will be done away with and the state's purse strings will therefore be better guarded. He spoke in favor of enlarging the circuit jurisdlctlan from one or two counties to five or six. town have three judges instead of one and no one of these three judges be allowed to sit on the bench in his resident county, to eliminate danger of prejudiced decisions on account of personal interests. — Bloomington

Thanks to the science of electricity the trouble and delay of getting breakfast has been reduced to a minimum. No longer does the man of the house tread nervously about the dining room while the good wife patiently shakes the kitchen range and endeavors to hurry the sluggish fire so her “lord and master” can have bis breakfast before going to work. Breakfast these days, in the modern home, is merely a matter of pushing the button. Snap a switch and the invisible current boils the water in the teakettle. Another switch turned and the coffee percolator begins to sputter, and in a few minutes the cereal is cooking and the eggs are being boiled, poached, steamed or fried. The toast can be made as needed on the breakfast table, and, for that matter, all of the electrical devices can be used right on the table without needless heat
or any dirt or danger.
The very latest of the breakfast utensils is the electric toaster. This device is inexpensive and most efficient. The bread to be toasted is placed in a vertical position on either *ide of the heating element. By this method the bread Is not burned as it is in horizontal toasters. It only takes about three minutes to prepare two nice browned slices from the time the current is turned on. The iHGe of the new radiant toaster is made of porcelain through which iirojt ts the terminals of the heating element. To this baM* is attached a neat wire frame or cage for holding the slice* to be toasted on either side of the beating unit. The heating element consists of four zig-zag coils of *)iec:al resistance wire suspended ! vertically. The four heating coils j ceing connected In multiple all danger of short-circuiting the •device
with a fork is eliminated.
The Board of State Charities has just sent out a short report of the candition of the asylums and jails of the state. This report mentions a number of very bad poor asylums and also a number that are very well equipped. Putnam is in neither list. We are neither censured nor blamed. The following counties are censured in the following language: Among the worst poor asylums in the state are those in Spencer, Harrison, Davies, Shelby, Clay, Carroll
and Lake counties.

The electric railways in the United States carried last year 0.680,000,000 fare passengers. Thife wonderful increase is due to the growth of the street railway and ‘interurban railway service, better transportation facilities, and the increase of suburban residents. The number of persons to ( be transported increased at the rate of 1,500,000 annually. The number of | passenger cars operated has increas-' ed at the rate of 40 per cent, for the 1 past five years. With the population of the United States estimated at | about 85,000,000, the figures given above would seem to show that every man, woman and child in this country has ridden 78 times on the electric railways within the past year. This gives some idea of the extent of the electric traction in this country. The electrification of steam railroads has already been successfully accomplished, and it is predicted that within a comparatively few years all the principle railroads of this great country will be electrified.
